Siyavash was giving a lesson in the Persian art of dream interpretation, and he told me that one never interprets the early morning dreams by the same rules as the deep-sleep dreams. But he never instructed me on the interpretation of these early morning dreams. At 6:15 this morning, I began dreaming that I was back in Santa Clara in the woods near the top of the Hill. I was working with some amalgamated dream character in a barn when a door to door missionary came in. I hid in the hay loft to listen, where I heard the missionary tell my mentor (for I was an apprentice), "What you are doing here is wrong. Its going to come to an end one way or another - either you end it or God will. Who is listening up in the hay loft?" So I came down. I knew the missionary was referring to abortion. She took me aside gently and said, "You're going to be pregnant again soon." (By the way this is not true) I said, "That's all right because now I want to be." Then I came down the hill and there was some camp-like gathering of people. Abel and I were declaring our eternal freedom from marriage. I walked to the edge of the quarry-pond, speaking on the tin-can to Ian Letters. He had met Bryn, said he liked her very much and she had climbed naked under the covers with him. But then I said something wrong and he was upset and upset with me. We discussed the situation vehemently while I walked through the woods to a quarry pond. Things were resolved, we parted on good terms, and as I looked out over the water, a ghost-like figure in a black gown was gliding toward me ethereally. The realization came over me that this was Kevin Messman. As he floated closer, his mesmerizing stare turned into more of a playful smile, and he told me enthusiastically that if I wanted to go swimming, I better do it now because the pond belonged to Kate Marks' parents and they happened to be out for a few hours. "Right, Kate?" and there was Kate Marks, suddenly sitting on a soft bed of pine needles, nodding. "I myself would come here every day if I could," said Kevin.
I think this dream means that I miss my friends and good swimming holes.
